Agape & Eros

Holi II

Priya's eyes fell on a shocked Ram. She ran to him. 

Priya- Mr. Kapoor, Mr. Kapoor. Let's do something. 

Priya pulled him towards her.

Ram interpreted her words in a complete wrong way. 

His gaze fell on her lips. But he was yet to lose his sanity to her beauty. So he shook his head and tried to forget the idea. 

He tried to create a space between two of them. But Priya pulled him again and rested her head on his shoulder. Ram blushed seeing these cute little gestures of her. But at the same time, he became concern. He understood that Priya was drunk. 

Ram held her and asked. 

Ram- Priya, are you okay? What have you drunk? 

Shivi- Bhaang. Vai, meine sab ko bhaang pila diya. 

Shivi stood in front of Ram and declared what she did. Ram looked around and soon found out that most of his family members were drunk.

Ram- What?? No..

Shivi- Yesss!!! Come on, vai, It's holi. Drinking bhaang is a must! 

Ram- But Priya can't handle intoxication. And why did you give it to Meera maa? Aur mom ko bhi? Kiu Shivi? 

Shivi- Cause it's fun, woohoo!!

Shivi cheered in joy and went away to avoid getting lectured by Ram. 

Priya- Chaliye na, kuch karte hain. 

Priya spoke again. 

Ram- No, let's go to room. You need to take rest. 

Priya pushed Ram in annoyance. Adi and Brinda came near them. 

Priya- Inse na kuch nahi hone wala. Hum karenge nach gaana aur aap baithke khaiye khana. 

Ram- Khana?

Bri- I agree, Ram you became so boring yaar. 

Adi- Mere vai ko boring maat bolo tum. Hume naach gana tumse behtar aata hain. Aata hain na Ram. Chal dikha dete hain unko. 

Akshay- Haa, haa, let's play antakshari.

Priya- Good idea!!

Ram- No, no, bad... bad idea. 

Shubhu- Jisne bhaabi ko roka, usse mein toka. 

Shubhu charged Ram with a water gun. Ram hid behind Adi. 

Ram- Adi, what's happening, man? Sab ki sab nashe mein hain. 

Adi- But khush bhi to hain. Dekh aaj pehli baar, Shubhu Priya ki side le raha hain. Chill, Ram. 

Ram looked at Shubhu and Priya. He hadn't seen them talking so freely. A smile was curved in his face. Nandini looked happy too, with Meera maa. 

Bri- Ram, bhaang se agar achha kuch hota hain na to bhaang achha hain.

Ram smiled listening to Brinda. He let go of his hesitation and joined everyone in the game of antakshari. 

With excitement buzzing in the air, they divided themselves into two spirited teams. 

Team Kapoor led by Priya & Team Sood led by Ram. 

As the game began, the first notes of a song rang out, setting the stage for a melodic battle of wits. Team Kapoor launched into a lively Bollywood number, accompanied by a dance where Shubhu and akshay joined Priya. Not to be outdone, Team B responded with another classic bollywood song, where Sara and Sandy joined Ram in the dance. 

They danced surrounding Priya. Through the song Ram confessed his love for Priya once again. Priya couldn't by smile being mesmerized once again by her husband. Her heart ached a bit too but she couldn't remember why. 

Back and forth the music flowed, each team feeding off the energy of the other. There were cheers of triumph and groans of defeat as points were tallied and songs were sung. 

Amidst the friendly competition, precious memories were made, with each member of the family reveling in the joy of shared laughter and song.

In the midst of laughter and song Ram didn't forget to dance with Priya. 

As they twirled and swayed, their laughter rang out, mingling with the rustle of leaves and the distant chirping of birds. In a moment of pure spontaneity and affection, the Ram gently lifted his Priya's hand to his lips, pressing a soft kiss to her skin as they continued to move in perfect rhythm.

Their eyes sparkled with shared joy and love, their connection palpable to all who watched. In that colorful setting, amidst the rainbow of colors and the warmth of the afternoon sun, they shared a fleeting moment of pure bliss, a memory to cherish for a lifetime. And as the dance came to an end, they lingered in each other's arms, basking in the magic of the moment and the love that bound them together.
